Racker’s Blend – 2017; Perissos Vineyard & Winery; Burnet, Texas

2017 has certainly blessed this classic wine. This vintage is a blend of Aglianico 41%, Tempranillo 30%, Petite Sirah 15%, Sryah 7%, and Malbec 7%.  Gaze at the tantalizing deep red color and let your imagination run wild on what to expect. After 45 minutes or so of breathing, it really opens with fruit forward aromas of cherry and fig.  Flavors of cola will soon compliment your senses along with a hint of vanilla. This red wine has excellent structure and a nice smooth finish. As it hits the 5-year mark, the acids and tannins are about medium for this full-bodied jewel. You can still cellar longer if you have extra bottles but do savor every drop of this delightful blend. Cheers!
